DM for more info. When I was a kid I was teased for being different which taught me to hide the real me behind a mask. I started to see a shift.

We help women and non-binary folks with ADHD carve out me-time, set boundaries, and conquer all the things that make it difficult to adult, through private & group coaching. My nine-year-old self learned that if I didn't ask questions, I didn't make waves, and I didn't act “stupid” then my friends wouldn't ridicule or make fun of me and that felt safer. As an adult I felt lost and frustrated with my life, which led me to explore every possible path for personal growth that I could get my hands on. I went through so many books and programs that I couldn't finish them all. It was like going from shiny thing to shiny thing and bleeding money in the process. Some things did stick though and overtime I started to find the real me. As I started to embrace my imperfections and show bits of my true crazy self to the world. That all started when I became a yoga teacher in 2014. I found people complimenting my crazy yoga pants and reaffirming the things that make me uniquely me. Their joy helped me to feel more joyful. It wasn't until the pandemic of 2020 that I finally figured out what I'm truly good at: coaching. And not just any coaching, Yoga & Life Coaching, that brings together the philosophy of yoga into each coaching session. I discovered that I feel more grounded and able to coach and lead when I remember to breathe. Through Yoga & Life Coaching I got clear on my four core values and what matters to me most. That helped me clarify my purpose: Coaching women who feel the necessity to blend in so they can shed their mask and become their true self. Do you feel unsure of who you are? Every time you blend in, ignore your needs, and ignore your wants
you’re telling yourself that you don’t really matter

And overtime the real you has hidden behind your mask. Isn’t it time to stop blending? Take off that mask and reconnect with your true self. Pick a time to put you first and schedule your consultation to learn if working with me might be a good fit for you.

An epiphany on something they tell you to do in business that doesn’t work for me anymore.

Special shout out to Alicia for helping me to find the words.

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Kerstin, The Boundaries Coach (she/her) 💖

I help exhausted humans stop saying yes when they mean no—and set healthy boundaries without the guilt.

The top 3 signs that we’re a good fit to work together:

If you’re feeling…

😩 exhausted from saying yes to everything,

😣 frustrated or resentful in one (or all) areas of your life

🔁 like you’re repeating the same patterns over and over (and can’t seem to make a change actually stick)

➡️ that’s a sign that you need better boundaries.

I work with clients in three ways:
1. 🌟 Private coaching
2. 💓 Group coaching with my signature program Boundaries & Balance
3. ✍🏻 Weekly Journaling Group: CommuniTea

How to know which of my services is best for you?

🤓 If you feel most resentment & frustration in your day-job (more than anywhere else) private coaching is the best fit for you. Book a free consultation to get started (I also recommend joining my email list).

🏠 If you feel most resentment & frustration in your relationships and keep doing the same stuff over and over (like saying yes to everything before checking your schedule or always putting yourself last on your to-do list) then Boundaries & Balance is the thing for you! Send me a quick DM that says “I need Boundaries & Balance” to get started (I also recommend joining my email list).

🏳️‍🌈 If you feel like you need a supportive group of humans in your life where you can fully let your freak flag fly while working through your limiting beliefs and the crap stuck in your head then my weekly journaling group CommuniTea is for you. Send me a quick DM that says “I need CommuniTea” (I also recommend joining my email list).

🦋 Annnnnnnnd if you’re all three, you’re not alone! Most of my clients work with me through all of my offerings but usually not all at once. If you’re having trouble deciding, definitely join my email list and I highly recommend booking a free consultation so we can talk through it together.

(Plus my print shop has 📚 journals & planners that I designed to keep you focused and working through the 💩 that comes up in your day to day, so that I recommend to everyone)

Mom Math: Christmas Edition 🎄

Me: spends $500 on Christmas gifts without blinking

Also me: hides a $30 cardigan I desperately need in my own stocking because I can’t justify spending money on myself

The math? Not mathing.

Drop a 🎄 if you’ve done your own version of mom math this holiday season

May your day be filled with as much fun as Tacocat spelunking in wrapping paper. 😂😻

My “no” made her uncomfortable enough to call it out.

And honestly?

That showed me my boundaries were doing exactly what they’re supposed to.

When was the last time your boundary upset someone?

Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if this has happened to you.

The secret I almost didn’t share with you

Astrologically speaking, sh*t’s about to get crazy. 😳

Like, don’t-schedule-anything-extra-between-December-8th-and-14th levels of crazy.

How do I know this? I follow CHANI (the astrology app I swear by).

And when I realized what’s coming on December 8th, my first thought was:

“Oh my god, what am I doing to PREPARE myself?”

Then I looked at my calendar and literally laughed out loud. 😂

Because I’m co-leading a mini retreat on December 7th—the day BEFORE this astrological madness hits.

A retreat that’s ALL ABOUT resetting your nervous system, calming the F down, and giving yourself the emotional and energetic armor to make it through the holiday season.

We didn’t plan it this way. But the universe did. 🙏

So if you’re like me and kind of freaking out—wondering “what can I do?”—come to our mini retreat.

It’s the reset and pause that you need to prepare.

P.S. If the voice is popping up saying that this and nice and all, but I’m not supposed to do stuff for myself, I need to take care of everyone else. Then I’ve got just one question for you, how are you going to take care of everyone else when you’re beyond burnt out and screaming expletives at your phone before you even know who texted you?

P.P.S. Sending you lots of love 💕💕

You’re a badass at holding healthy boundaries 🏆

It’s true!

You might not realize it because all these boundaries feel like, “duh, of course!” situations.

But the more you’re aware of these “easier” boundaries the easier it becomes to set the harder ones too.

Because once your brain is on board and believes that you CAN set healthy boundaries, then the easy/hard definition becomes irrelevant.

So let’s highlight for our brains 🧠 all the places we already have healthy boundaries:

☎️ Keeping your phone on silent.

This healthy boundary that helps to regulate your nervous system- no beeps or noises startling you or interrupting that important meeting.

🚙 Wearing your seatbelt every time you get in a car.

This healthy boundary tells you that you care about your health and safety.

🐻 Defending your kid when they’re bullied at school.

Your protective mama bear instincts are a boundary too, no one gets to mess with your cubs (except you, like when you start calling all new foods “pizza” to try to get your 3 year old to eat more things 😂😂)

What “easy” boundaries are you holding?

Share in the comments 👇🏻
so we can remind and encourage each other on how many we’ve already mastered 💕

Our Story

Kerstin began her yoga journey almost by accident back in 1999. Since then she’s grown and found that yoga has the power to calm her, to work out the kinks from her day, and eliminate unnecessary stress. In 2014 Kerstin took her yoga journey to the next level by becoming an E-RYT 200 hour certified power yoga teacher. But she hasn’t stopped there. Kerstin realized that yoga alone wouldn’t make her complete and she started delving into nutrition and other healthy habits. When she launched her own business Love and Live Yoga she wanted to help people through every aspect of their lives: improve movement and flexibility through yoga, reduce stress, and cultivate better eating habits to keep the yoga glow flowing all day.
